Total depravity

"In God’s eyes – listen – no one is a victim. We are all perpetrators of open rebellion, scandalous, blasphemous sin against God. We are all rebels, we are all obstinate, we are all stubborn... Here we have the critical fundamental principle of the gospel; no one is a victim. From God’s viewpoint, no one is a victim."

"There was a book written by Rabbi Kushner years ago called Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People? and he went chapter after chapter after chapter trying to discuss why bad things happen to good people. And the book could have been very simple. The title would have been Why Do Bad Things Happen to Good People? You open the book and it should have said one thing: "There are no good people. There are no good people." Why do bad things happen to good people? There are no good people: "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Bad things will always happen because there are no good people; we are all sinners."

"If men were angels, no government would be necessary."

"So Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.""
